Here is what people are saying about the Gobblet Junior
 "Fun, simple game but challenging enough for adults" | 2009-06-04 |

I like that kids can beat adults at this game. It's like tic tac toe but in an advanced way. It's simple enough that my 4-year-old takes a try with this (not so successfully but with a lot of fun and enthusiasim) and my 7-year-old definitely plays this well. You have to watch your moves carefully because your pieces can be covered by an opponent's piece easily (and with tic-tac-toe you don't get to cover someone's space once they've played on it, so this can be a tricky addition to the game.)
Friends introduced us to this game one weekend and within 2 days I ran out and bought it myself. Easy to travel with as well...you can just pile up the pieces in a small bag and leave the wood board at home. When you get where you're going, it's easy to create the board with a piece of paper and pencil (just like a tic tac toe board.)
This is a good gift item as well. Not as many people have this at home so it's one you can feel safe in buying and giving to someone as a little something unexpected. We've ordered a few as gifts and have fun teaching the game to others. |

| This is an AWESOME game! Almost everyone know tic-tac-toe so it is EASY to learn and quick to play. You can't play just once! The twist is that your pieces are slightly different sizes - just big enough to gobble up your opponent. The first person to make tic-tac-toe wins, but it's not as easy as it looks when you're stuck in the mindset of just making three in a row and forget about the gobbling possibilities! My 4 and 5 year olds will beat me even when I'm trying to win! Excellent beginning critical thinking game. Grandparents loved playing it with the kids too. |

 "great teaching tool but not a great game" | 2009-02-06 |

This is a good pure strategy game but it has one defect that limits it for older players. The Original Gobblet is 4x4 and is a fun complex sophisticated strategy game, but it's also a long game not suited to 6 year olds just getting started in board games. Gobblet Junior looked like great idea when I bought it. 3x3 meant games would end quickly but teach the basic stategy. Perfect for a 6 year old.
The problem is that the person who goes first can force the win. This force is not perfectly simple as it not a pre-determined set of moves but is rather like a predetermined set of responses. So if you can memorize chess openings or checker openings then you can always win this game.
The good news is that until the child comes to realize this and seek tat solution it is a good game a teaching how to think several moves ahead. it is fun. But eventually one realizes it is a won game and a lot of the fascination is lost. So it's good training for many month, then you need to buy a 4x4. |

| I bought this game to bring down to my vacation home, a new game that the kids do not have at home. Every time we go to the house, the kids want to play Gobblet first! It is just like tic-tac-toe, but you can eat up your opponent's pieces with your own larger pieces. It is a game of strategy. My 7 year old enjoys beating her 17 year old cousins in this game, before they figure out how to do it. My 5 year old can beat his cousins as well. I would recommend it. |

This tic-tac-toe take-off is extremely fun. Don't let the "JR" fool you. It is simple enough for my 5YO yet challenging enough for any adult. Each player gets 6 "gobblets" (2 small, 2 med, and 2 lg) to play with. We learned very quickly that part of the strategy is figuring out which size pieces to play first, but it is also important not to just "gobble" each other up since it is easy to gobble to the point where each player has just two spaces on the board. Since "gobbling" is so much fun it is hard to resist over-gobbling.
This is a top-notch game, very fun to play. The gameboard and pieces are all wooden and attractively decorated. Even the box is very sturdy. This is a fun and welcome addition to our collection. |
